What Causes Reddish Spots On Chest And Stomach?

I have had a few redish spots that have been on my stomach ,2 on my chest and 2 larger ones under my arm for a week now. They are not getting worse ,no puss, no head forming , no itching ,pain or burning with them , I noticed when I showered last week and seen them. I do check them often but i m not sure what they may be as they look simular to a very small insect bite (except the larger 2 under my arm pit which look more like a half dime sized red spot) none of these are dark red and some of them I can graze my finger over and my skin will turn back white then go back red ,on the real small ones. Theres between 10-15 in total and all of pictures i ve seen are way to extreme for me to try and compare them to. Thank you ,Alex

Hi,

It may be lichen urticatus also called papular urticaria. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is a hypersensitivity reaction to insects bite. Take care to avoid insects bite. Apply the soothing lotion like calamine lotion. Take antihistaminics and steroid in tapering dose.

Hope this helps.
